Haven't wiggled anything for several days now. Friday afternoon, my mom was trying to get out of her bed at the nursing home by herself (she has parkinsons and can't walk at all). She fell (of course) and landed on her kneecaps. She has a broken left tibia and a crack in her right femur. So we spent all weekend at the hospital with her.

Sitting in uncomfortable hospital chairs all weekend didn't do my neck and shoulder any favors, but I have an appt this afternoon with my doc to look at that again, then I head back to the hospital.

Mom may get released tomorrow, but nursing home wants us to buy new bed because "the rails she has on hers didn't stop her from falling out". Yep...they are right...because the nursing home staff TOOK THE RAILS OFF THE BED because they were too dumb to understand how to properly raise and lower them. Needless to say I am not buying a new bed...
